[B][In case you don't know the Rossport Five have been released after an appeal to the High Courts./B]
Temporarily released after Shell withdrew its injunction against them .
They still have to return to court in a month on the charges of contempt .

That would have been the right thing to do Corleone after exhausting all legal courses of action in this country, not this stupid sensationalist act.

That of course ignores the fact that such action would take a long time and a hell of a lot of money , and also that Shell was continuing the work despite court actions and government orders to stop and dismantle work already completed . If they refused to obey the laws of the land now then what makes you think that they would obey the laws of the land over some future descision that would be reached about 10 years after they had finished the work .
This "stupid sensationalist act" as you put it has partially worked . It has bought the campaign all the attention and support it needed and has made Shell agree to mediation and possible compromise .

We're not a bunch of dictators over here you know...
Thats funny , did you hear Bertie on the news tonight talking about the tunnel
I wonder if his threats apply to all the trucks that An Post bought

Every government has less than reputable members, Sinn Féin on the other hand are part of a terrorist organisation that flagrantly breaks the laws of two nations on a regular and frequent basis and has condoned the murder of over 3000 people.
Really , I didn't realise SinnFein/IRA were behind all of the 3000 deaths during the troubles , I wonder what the other factions and security services were doing during this time .
While we are on the subject , now that Sinn Fein have thrown away the guns should they not have exactly the same status as the two other main parties who used to be terrorists ?
Then again the old IRA never threw away their guns like the Provisionals have .
